Hello Internet!
And welcome to behind the meme!
Today we have a look at hatfishing
Dating in the digital era.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
For one, it is kinda amazing!
I mean you can just hop on your phone that fits in the palm of your hand and open up
a free app that lets you pick and choose from tons of beautiful girls, guys and in-betweens.
no judgment here.
whatever floats your boat.
And within a matter of a few messages you can be on your way to a bar to meet a stranger
you’ve never met who promised to do things to you that you didn’t even know were possible
and you didn’t know you were into but now is the thing you want the most in the world
and would do anything to get it.
If you know what I mean.
“want smell my finger?”
“yeah…okay”
I mean it sure as hell beats the old fashioned way that my grandparents met….back in the
50’s when you actually had to marry a girl and mean it to get laid.
Marriage?
Love?
Planned pregnancies?
talk about a bummer!
So what exactly is the downside of this wonderful era of dating?
Well, aside from the narcissistic, shallow, moralles and more than likely soulless individuals
that you will meet.
You may come across a catfish.
But not the type of catfish that your grandpa is totally stoked to catch.For those of you
unaware a catfish is a person who isn’t exactly the person they and their online profile
lead you to believe they are.
You know, That amazing hot and perfect girl who claims she looks like marilyn monroe.
Well, not to burst your bubble but she more than likely looks a little more like marilyn
manson .
I mean there’s even a tv show on MTV about people and their stories dealing with catfishes.
Ive never seen it but I know it is based off the 2010 documentary of the same name that
I did see that was pretty intriguing and was actually the birth of the term.
This form of cat fishing has sadly become a common part of the digital era.
But cat fishing has evolved in a pretty hilarious way.
I speak of none other than hat fishing.
And when I say hat fish I don’t mean this…or this…Although this is kinda cool in its
own right and I could talk about it for at least 3 minutes.
But no, instead I speak of this.
Take it in.
Breathe him in in all his wonderful glory.
For thou is thy hat fish lord.
A hatfish is a term similar to a catfish due to the fact that a hatfish is defined as “a
guy who looks completely different (sexy) while wearing a hat or cap.
But when they take it off it’s a totally different story”.
A lot of dudes like to rock a style that incorporates A hat or a beanie which usually makes them
look good.
Plus it’s easy to cover up those bad hair days.
That itself isn’t necessarily a hatfish.
But It does become a hatfish when what you hide under the hat isn’t temporary like
a bad hair day.
I of course speak of being bald, bad hairlines, stupid tattoos and just straight up conehead
looking dudes.
You can quickly begin to see the deceit that some girls may feel when they see their date
with his hat off for the first time.
Especially if it happens a bit down the road.
Lets Say after the third or fourth date in the morning after you both wake up after a
night of some drunken escapades.
Here they were thinking they were on a date with bruce willis circa 1980s but instead
find out it is bruce willis circa 2018.
Talk about a bummer!
Yeah, yeah some guys may hatfish…but girls do whatever the hell this is.
Yeah, Everybody is guilty
So there you have it!
What started off as a term used to describe a species of fish, was later used to describe
individuals who decide to deceive before evolving into a term that is used for dudes who have
a head they aren’t really too proud of.
